 | The Pillars of Creation (Sword of Truth, Book 7) by Terry Goodkind
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.85 Mostly pointless digression from the overall arc of the story
|
 | Naked Empire (Sword of Truth, Book 8) by Terry Goodkind
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.50 Awful. Most contrived book of the series. It seemed little more than a vehicle for the author to express his philosophy.
|
 | Chainfire: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 1 (Sword of Truth, Book 9) by Terry Goodkind
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.19 Return to form for Goodkind. This book recaptures the feel of the earlier SoT novels.

|
 | Confessor: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 3 (Sword Of Truth, Book 11) by Terry Goodkind
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $6.74 Excellent finale to the SoT series.
|
 | The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Buy new: $10.17 / Used from: $5.95 Amazing novel about a love triangle (pentagon?) in St. Petersberg. Wonderfully written.
|
 | The Double and The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $4.50 Early novels from Dostoevsky. The Double is creepy in a surreal kind of way and The Gambler is written from Dostoevsky's personal experience with the vice. Solid.
|
 | Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $2.94 What I'm currently reading. I read it last in high school. Fascinating character study and superbly written.
|

|
 | Ulysses by James Joyce
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $4.19 I've been gearing up to tackle this one again this summer. I read it for a class in college. One of the most interesting, intriguing, frustrating, but rewarding pieces of literature I've ever read.
|
 | We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Buy new: $11.20 / Used from: $0.99 Dystopian novel that influenced 1984. Haven't read it yet, but it looks intriguing.
|
 | A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $0.01 Figured I might as well reread this before I start Ulysses again.
